Some amazing pictures in this thread. I'm not a professional, but I do enjoy taking pictures.
American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer in Normandy.
Forgot to include it, but everyone should look up the story of Frank D. Peregory. Bad arse.

quote:
On 8 June 1944, the 3rd Battalion of the 116th Infantry was advancing on the strongly held German defenses at Grandcamp-Maisy, France, when the leading elements were suddenly halted by decimating machine gun fire from a firmly entrenched enemy force on the high ground overlooking the town. After numerous attempts to neutralize the enemy position by supporting artillery and tank fire had proved ineffective, T/Sgt. Peregory, on his own initiative, advanced up the hill under withering fire, and worked his way to the crest where he discovered an entrenchment leading to the main enemy fortifications 200 yards away. Without hesitating, he leaped into the trench and moved toward the emplacement. Encountering a squad of enemy riflemen, he fearlessly attacked them with hand grenades and bayonet, killed 8 and forced 3 to surrender. Continuing along the trench, he single-handedly forced the surrender of 32 more riflemen, captured the machine gunners, and opened the way for the leading elements of the battalion to advance and secure its objective. The extraordinary gallantry and aggressiveness displayed by T/Sgt. Peregory are exemplary of the highest tradition of the armed forces.[1]

I love stopping in the middle of the desert and taking pictures of roads and rocks that go forever. It is hard to capture the silence and vastness though.
Not nearly as famous as Monument Valley:
On a drive through West Texas I happened to catch El Capitan/Guadalupe Peak dusted in snow as a storm was rolling in.

Nice. I went during monsoon. I also accidentally shot my whole India trip on JPEG so I can't do diddly in post production really, but I'll just share mine.
It was packed for some Muslim holiday I was told. Had a really cool moment using the tourist line to enter cutting between the male and female Indian lines. Felt like a rockstar.

It was not ideal. It was my first time using the camera extensively. I liked a lot of the photos I got but now that I know what I can do in post it's a mild bummer.
